Curriculum director reports progress on Title grants; allocations for some grants still pending

Sherri Bergum, the districts curriculum director, provided a yearly review of Title grants at the July 14 board meeting. Bergum said Title I grant allocations have come in, while Title II, III and IV allocations were still awaiting notification. The board discussed the update briefly; no formal action was recorded in the minutes because this was reported as an informational item. Bergums overview covered all Title grants and the board engaged in some discussion, but the minutes do not include detailed allocation amounts or implementation steps. Why it matters: federal Title grants fund programs for disadvantaged students, professional development, English learners and expanded student supports; knowing which allocations are confirmed helps district budgeting and program planning. Details: the minutes do not specify amounts or expected dates for the outstanding allocations. The item was recorded as "Title Grants Yearly Review" in the minutes and required no formal vote. Board members moved on to other agenda items after the update.
